How to interact with other players?

[Gestum]

A very basic question: I haven't played the game a lot yet, mainly for some hours before Beyond, and I'm trying to understand how communication with other players works now. I have visited the anomaly / Nexus and suddenly another player gave me something, an upgrade. There was a message like "Xyz gave ... to Gestum". Well, I didn't figure out how to thank the other player! How to select him, how to say something to him, generally how to communicate and interact with other players. Suppose I would like to give something to another player, how would I do that? Usually I find answers to such questions quickly using the in-game documentation or through a Google search, but not in this case, basic as it probably seems...

if you're on PC just press Enter and start typing your message..Press Enter again when finished typing. if the other player has joined your local group, you'll be able to communicate...

I had a similar question in my mind. Many of us played different games and sometimes there are different types of chat like private or party, but I believe in this game its only as the replier said, it is just a general chat to all players on the station.

Yeah, this isn't an MMO, there are no tiers of chat. There is just a general chat you get into by pressing Enter on PC, and typing what you want to say to the station at large. Everyone can see it.

It really isnt that much of multiplayer at all. you can see people when you go to the nexus thats about it.

im asking the question here because is very similar to the begining, when you start the game it asks start game or join game, under join game it says play with a friend or random player. when i open the join game tab there are no random players in there. ive tried to look it up in multiple places so i decided to try this due to rude responces and wasted time.so if anyone could please explain to me what i missed somewhere to have randoms in that tab it would be apriciated.
